README for NetServer::Generic
NetServer::Generic is a perl module that implements an object-oriented
interface for developing internet servers.
It requires:
* Perl 5.004 or later
* The following modules:
-- IO::Socket (part of the standard distribution, or available from
CPAN)
-- IO::Select
-- ChatBot::Eliza (optional: used by the elizad example)
Two examples are included:
elizad -- a simple psychotherapy daemon
shttpd -- a really, stupidly, basic HTTP server
A test script, demonstrating client/nonforking operation, is also included.
NetServer::Generic is required by NetServer::SMTP and the leafmail package.
To install NetServer::Generic, follow the usual Perl module installation
practice, viz (probably as root):
cd Generic
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
NOTE: The test mechanism is slightly non-standard, because
NetServer::Generic's quit() method interferes with Test::Harness.
For this reason, the real test (testguts-forked.pl for the forking
server and testguts-preforked.pl for the preforked server) is invoked
from within test.pl.

Enjoy!
